Summary of Legislation: This bill urges the Legislative Council to assign the study of Indiana's mental
health hospital system to a study committee during the 2021 legislative interim.
Effective Date: Upon passage.
Explanation of State Expenditures: The Legislative Council could assign the topic to an existing interim
study committee or establish a new interim study committee to study this topic during the next interim.
Interim study committees operate on budgets established by the Legislative Council based on committee size.
Legislative Council resolutions in the past have established budgets for interim study committees in the
amount of $13,500 per interim for committees with fewer than 16 members and $17,500 for committees with
16 members or more. If the Legislative Council were to assign this topic to an existing committee and the
committee were to have any extra meetings to address this topic, there would be additional expenditures for
legislator per diem and travel reimbursement for the committee members. Any additional expenditures must
be within the committee’s budget.
